  • Kanye West Says Big Sean Is "On God's Path," Was Responsible For Making "Blessings" Dark Sky Paradise's Second Single [WATCH]

    Big Sean was famously discovered by Kanye West in 2005 when the G.O.O.D. Music label head was in Detroit giving a radio interview.

Most recently, the pair teamed up for Sean's latest single "Blessings," which also features Drake.

Maybach Music founder and the biggest boss the world has seen thus far, Rick Ross, decided he wanted in on the action and laid down a verse on "IDFWU" to call the track a remix of his own.

Freed from prison on Dec. 2, Meek Mill had his true party with the video for his single "B Boy" alongside Big Sean and A$AP Ferg that included all of the above items and much more. The festivities continue with some mini-golf, a full dryer of money and flashy cars. The party is crashed by some hot and oddly underdressed (forensic countermeasure?) females who steal a large quality of jewelry at gun point, which in the grand scheme of things, is like a drop in the bucket for the stash in the Mill mansion.
